Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

BBTS sent me an email saying the verycool tux has been discontinued. Bummer. Can't bring myself to put the Skyfall head on a black tux...

Wow fantastic! Really appreciate your help.

Ok so its actually not as difficult as I thought doing your own and probably far cheaper too!!!

My only final issue then is just around the shirt that comes with the Toys City version - I prefer a flat fronted. Anyone have recommendations on a shirt?

Also can you get decent 1/6 watches that look like any used in the films?

Also grab the DID shoes and a Zcwo bowtie. As far as a shirt idk. The watch could be an HT agent Coulson watch...its close.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Brothers Production watch and PPK are also fine.

BHG, novice or not, you should do some leg work - READ. Don't just come expecting everyone else to just lay out a perfect blueprint for you - that's getting a little too presumptuous and frankly entitled.

My Craig Bond for example will be totally different than yours, because I have no desire to make anything but a Casino Royale inspired figure. So P99 instead of PPK. H&K machine guns, rather plain black dinner jacket and pants.

There is no perfect recipe. Absolutely enough information has been discussed, including links to external stores and eBay in the past few weeks alone - you wouldn't need to read very much.

Before you accuse me of ranting you should pause and consider how you may have come off as entering a long-standing thread and trying to crap on it.

Crapping on a thread!!! We are all here for the same reason. That's the point of this is to share knowledge and if you cant see that then there's only one entitled person contributing around here. Come on buddy I appreciate you have gone to a lot of effort and you love putting your Bonds together but it doesn't take much to help someone out!!!

I have read through everything but everyone is giving far too much opinion. My objective clearly worked because despite your madness you have (along with the very helpful Rdeezy) put me right into where I need to be and detangled any confusion.

As it happens I wouldn't mind my Craig being more Casino Royal inspired!

Great call on the bowtie! That's a really nice piece.

Looking on ebay there appears to be plenty of standard white shirts so I should be ok.

I thought that the Agent Jacks tux looked better in pics than the Toy City version but clearly not - will take your guys word.

I have far more confidence now to give it a go putting my own together and its clearly not as difficult as I though.

Just need to not ***** it up!

Hey gido!

Thanks very much for that - I completely missed that he had used the DID body.

Wow I am glad that I never went for Agent Jack now the suit and the shirt in particular don't look anywhere near as good as the official DID pics!

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

GHB what Craig are you going with for yours?

Really not sure - I love a classic Bond look like Casino Royale but that blue tux was lovely in the last film.

Probably to play it safe and make it easy will do a more Casino Royale version.

Its all very new to me this and if it wasn't for these amazing heads from Inigou I probably wouldn't have done anything.

I am a huge Bond fan but was never happy with the Sideshow stuff.

My biggest claim to fame is that I have met all the Bonds!

Have you posted any pics of your Bond creations?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

The best jackets by far for substituting a plain tux, are a Toys City black jacket or the Agent Coulson jacket. Each has matching pants. The jackets will require at least a mod to remove an extra button.

While the Toys City tux is excellent, it's not suitable for a Craig bond unless you're not going after any particular movie version or unless it's dyed blue. It's the best option available for a Dr. No Sean Conery Bond however.

If Inigou is going to do all the heads then I am going to put a set together - can't see anyone else doing an official set anytime soon.

One issue I did have is how can I make them all different in some way - obvious option would be to not tux them but I want my collection to be signature so surely I have to.

So think its going to be just interpretations of the Bonds unless you have any suggestions?

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I thinking about going with their signature looks from each film:

Connery - Golfinger three piece suit

Moore- LALD black shirt and pants with brown holster

Craig-blue tux

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Wow, you're going to make 23 custom Bond figures?

 

[Rdeezy]

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

No..lol I meant each Bond with their signature look.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I am only doing each Bond (so six figures total) hence why I think an interpretation is better.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I don't think any Bond has a "signature look" that spans all their movies. It's hard enough to pick a signature look within a single movie when you factor promos/one-sheets and in/out credits.

At the end of the day, I think any unmistakable sculpt in a black tux-like suit with a white shirt will speak "Bond" to any casual viewer. Beyond that it's just gravy. Ask 100 people what color Bond's tux was in Skyfall and you'll get 99 saying "black" - I can all but guarantee that.

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

Maybe signature film wouldve been better for me to say? Or easiest look to replicate in 1:6, such as Moores LALD outfit, over his TSWLM yellow ski outfit. But also having everyone Bond figure in the same suit also seems boring so

Exactly why I wanted to do a Barbour-jacket-shotgun-toting Skyfall Bond.

Though I think a set of Inigou's present and future Bonds, all in matching tuxedos, would make a nice shelf to look at....

Re: OFFICIAL JAMES BOND THREAD

I would like to do a gray suit Skyfall Bond all weathered up...and I did like your "Mansion Assault Bond" too Dubby nice work on that.
